Midfield

Ao Tanaka will anchor the midfield along Ethan Ampadu as they focus on winning the 50-50 duels at the centre of the park and creating a few promising chances for their teammates up top.

Gabriel Gudmundsson will try to catch the eye as the left-winger, while Jayden Bogle looks to give a good account of himself on the right flank. Both of them will have to make some overlapping runs out in the wide areas.

Both Noah Okafor and Brenden Aaronson will play as the attacking midfielders as they look to engineer some decent chances in the final third.

Sean Longstaff and Wilfried Gnonto will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the charge for the West Yorkshire club up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace on the offensive end of the field.

Lukas Nmecha and Joel Piroe will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the latter stages if the Whites are in need of a goal by then.
